Foley and Maher half-brothers?

edit

Cardinal Daly's homily from the funeral Mass for the Ten reprinted here http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/special/2001/kevinbarry/index.htm states that Foley and Maher were 'half-brothers'. It's a fairly sound source and I'd have not hesitation including this information were it not for two things. 1) I've seen it no where else. Its a while since I read Tim Carey's book on the Ten, but I'm pretty sure I'd have remembered this if it was there. 2)It seems the decision to bury Maher in Limerick, while Foley and the others were buried in Glasnevin, was taken by his family. The final statement issued by both indicates they wished to be buried in Limerick. If they had the same family, why this difference when it came to the reinterrments? Puzzling. Can anyone give further sources for this information? ANB (talk) 00:40, 4 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
